Note To Users

This version of firmware brings a new look and feel to the camera’s User Interface (UI). In addition to many new
features, it offers easier and more efficient access to many key functions, better organization of the Main Menu,
Properties Settings and Custom Functions, and allows room for addition of future features.

If you’re familiar with previous firmware versions, you may find the new UI to be slightly different.   Our extensive
customer research, which assessed the impact on users migrating from previous firmware versions, indicates you
should allow a reasonable amount of time to adjust to the new UI’s features.  Beta testing has provided extremely
positive feedback once users have familiarized themselves with the UI.

1.2

 

What’s new in this version

 

Enhanced card compatibility with Calluna storage cards.

1.3

 

New Features since version 2.0.6

 

A redesigned, more efficient User Interface which features Dropdown menus.

Use the Dropdown Menu Lag to adjust Menu dropdown delay as needed.  You my find this helpful as you
become familiar with the new UI.

 

Dual Card Support

Increases storage capacity by allowing you to use two storage cards inside in the camera. (See Memory
Card Compatibility for more information).

 

Auto White Balancing using image data.

When camera white balance is set to AUTO, the camera will perform automatic scene white balancing based
on image data.  Previous versions of firmware adjusted AUTO white balance of captured images based upon
the color temperature of the local light source striking the white balance sensor on the front of the camera.

 

Image processing options.
Post-capture image processing can now be done by the camera (DCS 620 only) or by the DCS Host Software
without compromising your valuable Lossless original Raw Tiff files.  In addition to saving processed files, users
